Grief and Loss Therapy

Grief is often tied to the death of someone we love, but it shows up in so many other parts of life, too.

You might be grieving a relationship, a version of your life you thought you’d have, or a path that no longer fits. Loss can come through job changes, burnout, illness, moving, infertility, estrangement, or even life transitions that are supposed to be “good,” like a promotion or growing your family.

If you’re a helping professional, grief can feel especially complicated. You’re used to being the one who holds it together for others. The one who shows up, listens, and keeps going. Meanwhile, your own grief doesn’t always have a place to land.

Over time, that can start to look like feeling numb or on autopilot, replaying moments or decisions, carrying regret, or just trying to get through the day. It can feel lonely, especially in a culture that doesn’t really know how to sit with grief and often expects you to move on faster than feels possible.

My role isn’t to fix your grief or push you through it.

I offer a space where you don’t have to explain it away or make it more palatable for someone else. You don’t have to be the strong one here. I’ll meet you where you are, even in the heavier places, and sit with you in it.

When you’re ready, we can start to gently look at how this loss has shaped you, what it means for your identity, and how you want to carry it forward. We can explore ways to stay connected to what matters to you while still tending to the life you’re living now.

This isn’t about getting over it. It’s about finding a way to live with your grief that feels real and sustainable.

Grief counseling might be helpful if you’re noticing any of the following:

• having a hard time focusing

• replaying past moments or feeling stuck in regret

• moving through your days on autopilot

• noticing changes in your appetite or sleep

• thinking more about illness or death

• feeling more irritable, or worrying that you’re not healing “fast enough.”

You don’t have to carry all of that by yourself. I’m here to help.
